Morning Friends, Today I start my R2R journey as I build the perfect little reef for my home office. I am of course talking about the Eshopps Deskmate 4.8 gallon aquarium. Alright, I may have not been 100% truthful, but I didn’t lie. I’m starting the R2R documentation of my tank build, the...

Curious about if I need my protein skimmer for my 20g IM Nano. I have a media filter and a filter sock on the tank, wondering if having a skimmer also is overkill? Would it make my tank too clean? Would I be better just running my media and sock?

Hello reefers, After 1 year in hobby I finally spent some money for a minor upgrade, from 12G nano to 25G shallow nano. I have a few questions. 1. I want to change scape, I never liked scape in my tank. I will be getting some new ceramic rocks with different shape. How do I make sure I don't...

Hello everyone, I’m living in London, UK. And I am currently considering selling my tank. I will attach all the details, if anyone is interested, let me know. Red Sea Max Nano with black stand Red Sea ReefLED 50 lights Red Sea Max Nano skimmer (original with kit). H2Ocean Compact ATO Auto...

We're setting up a lifegard aquatics 7.4g to feature a pom pom crab. Soft corals and other crabs, shrimp, snails and one small fish (TBD). Relatively inexperienced at sourcing rock, as everything I've had has come from previously-owned nanos (running a 20g mixed reef). DT dimensions are...

Feel like I’ve learned a lot this year. Tank is stable and all the inhabitants are happy. Only fish in the tank is a spotted watchman shrimpgoby. Clownfish killed every single fish I put in there so I gave her up. Neomeris (green algae) has overtaken one side but I usually keep it trimmed back...

Mag Tool DC Protein skimmer (DC-SQ50) For sale. It was used for about 4 months in one of the rear compartments on a 14g AIO. It runs silent and does a great job for a small skimmer. The acrylic is still in perfect condition. No cracks or crazing. I will also include a brand new extra needle...

I have a small ~8 gal water volume sps tank that i recently installed a controller on. I’ve been monitoring pH and noticed significant swings between day and night. I know swings are expect but the range is pretty significant - approximately 1 ph or more over the course of a day. I think it...

Hows my toadstool dosent open much just symi extend in direct flow should be good lighting i only ha e the liquid test kits no hanna

I set up this tank as a bit of a gesture to myself for doing well on the LSAT a few years ago. Since then, it’s survived 3 moves, many crashes, and a switch out of law school and back to my old career. To say the least, it’s kept my mind straight through some rough times. It’s just a bit over...

Its been a while since I've had a saltwater aquarium, but I'm finally ready to jump back in. My previous tank was successful for the most part but I now know that I should do a few things differently. Mainly, not placing it by a window!!! As well as taking things slower and not messing with the...

1) Fiji Cube 20 Peninsula Pro 2) Innovative Marine Fusion Pro 2 20 gal 3) Innovative Marine Fusion Pro 2 Lagoon - 25 gal Peninsula was the preference, but I like the build and look of the IM and the extra width of the IM lagoon.

Hi everyone. I’ve been in the reefing hobby since July of this year. It all started this summer when my adhd brain said “let’s get a fish.” Growing up I had a betta fish here and there but if my memory serves me right I was not the caretaker of the tanks but rather my wonderful parents because...

Hello! I'm purchasing a Waterbox Peninsula 25 and I'm a little conflicted on what light to use. I have a poll up with some options. Tank Size: 24"x15"x15" (With the AIO I think the display is really 21"x15"x15") Coral: Mixed reef but mostly LPS and softies. I'll experiment with SPS but it will...

Hello Everyone! I'm excited to share this build with you:beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: Since starting up my 15 gallon system I began researching my next tank and quickly realized that what I wanted did not exist so here I am! Given that I'm new and know full well I'll be upgrading and trying...

Hello everybody! I have a 2 gallon jar that I am turning into a reef tank over time, and I just started the nitrogen cycle. I put about 2-3 ppm worth of Dr Tim's ammonia chloride in, and then a bottle of nitrifying bacteria. I did that about two days ago and I have yet to see any nitrite or...

I threw around this idea way back before I setup my reef. I have a 16-gallon reef 11 months old loaded with coral. I set up some copepod breeding jars to dose the aquarium. I feed the copepods live phyto there are a lot of tutorials online on setting up copepod cultures. I really want a Green...

It’s looking like a good start

This is my second saltwater tank and first build on reef2reef (also posting on another forum). I’ve been doing freshwater for 30 years or so (as long as I can remember), and started a 20 gallon nano about a year and a half ago. I used a Waterbox Clear Mini 6 to build a custom AIO using 1/8"...

An update on the small PNW Custom nano tank I set up about a month ago. This time I put a $1 bill next to it for size reference as some people thought I made a typo when I said it was just 40oz! Started off with very frequent water changes, now plan on doing just one 50% change every week. It...
